   The female HD78 connector is used on the following models of the MSXB060 and MSXB061 for differential inputs:

   • MSXB060-01-E2R - 32 differential inputs
   • MSXB061-01-E2S - 64 differential inputs

   Figures 1a and 1b show the pinout of the female HD78 connector on the MSXB060, with the corresponding connections on the male connector on the cable. The MSXB061 has two female HD78 connectors - the one on the left (looking at board) is the same as that for the MSXB060 and the connector on the right (connector further from printed-circuit board) has input pins for channels D32 through D63 in the same pin order as D0 to D31. The latter connector does not include connections to the DACs (pins 4, 23, 43, 62).
